I like doing these! I've got a few that I've been trying to slowly build up the items to make before actually making them. May as well post em all!

Pure evasion, high movespeed, fast attacking, high life shield chargin' shadow.

Uniques used: bronn's lithe, the peregrine, karui ward (might switch out), sin trek (or other, better 30% movespeed boots), crest of perandus (possibly), asenaths gentle touch (possibly).

The idea would be to combine shield charge with multistrike to be moving very quickly between enemies while attacking fast enough for the animation not to slow you down. With acrobatics and crest of perandus getting hit would be difficult, while heart of oak and high life means hits that do connect are not as likely to stun or cause a block animation, keeping up momentum.

For single target, due to the movespeed of up to +99% without a quicksilver, the knockback from heavy strike wouldn't slow down attack speed as much. Leading an enemy away from a pack of enemies with heavy strike would be useful to then combo with a splash shield charge on the pack it was separated from. M1 would use the multistrike charge with faster attacks+melee damage/blind (both with 5L), M2 the splash charge with AOE+melee damage, M3 the heavy strike with melee damage+faster attacks (in 1 hander/shield).

No curses, cause that's too slow and annoying, though asenaths gentle touch would mean even more speed while utilising the curse slot. Auras would of course be haste, with space for another such as determination or hatred, connected with reduced mana in 1hander/shield. Enduring cry with faster casting could also be used if necessary.

Can you tell 11.2 made this build a lot better? Hehe.


Pure reflect, max block, almost all uniques.

Uniques used: Cloak of flames, rainbowstride, THE ANVIL, crest of perandus/rathpith globe, rime gaze, doedres tenure (possibly), 2 kaom's signs (possibly).

77% block with rathpith globe, maximum of 74% spell blocking. Crest of perandus would be used while levelling up. 78% resists, 20% phys damage taken converted to fire plus arctic armour. Armour and ES depend on uniques used.

With endurance charges, arctic armour, molten shell and tempest shield plus reflect from THE ANVIL and a lot of regen, you could effectively be a facetanker while still dealing damage. The koams signs could be switched out to rares for resists, the belt would always need to provide resists too. Cloak of flame is used to reduce physical damage while adding more chance to ignite with molten shell, where the burning damage from that is the main damage being dealt. Because cast speed means very little to this build, doedres tenure would be useable for more damage.

The skill usage would be molten shell in rime gaze with elemental proliferation, chance to ignite and added burning damage. Tempest shield would be linked with iron will, culling strike and elemental proliferation, plus life leech if 5L. Auras would be clarity and purity with reduced mana in 1hander/shield. Curse would be either flammability or elemental weakness, ele weakness on spaced out enemies and flammability on big melee groups, ele weakness linked with faster casting and flammability with duration. Rest of the hotbar used on 2 enduring cries and immortal call, EC gems put into boots or gloves with ele weakness and faster casting, IC in 1hander/shield with flammability and duration. Stick arctic armour whereever.

Hotbar would only just fit in, with M1 molten shell, M2 flammability/eleweak, M3 opposite curse, AA, 2 end cries, IC and tempest shield cause it still isn't an aura.

So you'd get a bunch of enemies attention with enduring cry, cast molten shell, use appropriate curse, let THE ANVIL and tempest shield work their magic while keeping up end cries and keeping a trigger finger on immortal call until molten shell pops, then repeat. No direct attack spells used, to save on mana for casting molten shells. Arctic armour turned on at all times, at whatever level that clarity can sustain. IC used when incoming damage is too high, it will still cause molten shell and reflects to deal damage though :)

Very simple concept, but not entirely easy to build! All those uniques and the huge bonuses from ele prolif, ele weakness and molten shells quality bonuses means a perfectly geared char would be... really damn expensive.



Man, I have more but this post is so long that I'm actually tired from typing it. No more.
